And there we have it, our Lands End to John O'Groats Challenge is over. Our bean counters have been busy scrolling through Strava to register every run and count up all the miles to see how far we've got...

Did we manage 1,083 within the 24 hour window? No we didn't...

We managed 1,654 miles!!!! When the time came our members answered the call and all went that extra mile, in some cases an extra 20 miles!!!

136 of our members have been for a run this weekend.

56 members ran between 1 mile and 13 miles.

75 members ran between 13 miles and 26 miles.

4 members ran between 26 miles and 31 miles.

1 member ran 65 miles.

2 weeks a go this genuinely didn't seem like a challenge we could do, our club, like many things has been shut, our members apart, but the challenge gave everyone an opportunity to put on their vest and get out there.

It brought us together again and gave us all a common cause, which has been lacking over the last year.

The other factor being that it was a challenge which we hoped to raise a lot of money for our community charity of the year Overgate Hospice. On that front, we've surpassed all expectations as well...

At the time of writing we've raised £6,660, which 100% will go to Overgate. For that we thank everyone who has supported any one of our runners.
